Which Steinhoff book?

<p>I recently obtained a copy of Sascha Steinhoff's <strong><em>The VueScan Bible</em></strong> (2011), which seems to cover in detail the various options in VueScan but seems to have limited details on scanning <strong>B/W negatives</strong>. Steinhoff wrote an earlier book (2009) entitled <strong><em>Scanning Negatives and Slides</em></strong>, 2nd ed., which is not VueScan specific. Should I get that book too or is <em>The VueScan Bible</em> all I need? Has anyone else written a good book on negative scanning? My scanner is an Epson V500.</p>

<p>You can go to his web site at<br>

<p>Jens, while I'm not the original poster, thank you for the selection of links. I'll be perusing them myself, as I've been researching negative scanning workflows for the eventual archiving project of my own.<br /> <br /> Best regards,<br /> Jeff</p>
